I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

"..."

Bianca, who vaguely heard the sounds below and noticed the changes below, quickly showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then gently curled the corners of her lips.

Although the reasons may be complicated, Dai'e is in a good mood now that she has received so much "support". Therefore, she certainly won't let her supporters down.

"The stars have gathered here."

As Bianca's voice faded, the once bright sky suddenly darkened, and then bright stars and constellations appeared on the dim sky.

In the next instant, the stars "faded," and everything converged on the girl, condensing into a magnificent set of golden armor, directly replacing the Moon Soul she was originally wearing.

"Let it end, humanity."

At the same time, as Sirin finished speaking, the attack, which was gathering terrifying energy, quickly descended towards Bianca and the Grand Knights.

"This strike pierces through the stars."

The moment she saw the attack coming down, Bianca didn't hesitate at all. Power surged from her body, and a golden longbow materialized in her hand. Then, she shot out an ordinary arrow, which trailed a long streak of light and went straight toward Sirin's attack.

"Bang—boom boom boom—!!!"

The moment the two attacks collided, an explosion powerful enough to flatten the entire Great Knight Territory was generated, the shockwave carrying terrifying light and heat that swept across the land.

It's no exaggeration to say that without the energy shield erected by Bianca, the entire Great Knight Territory would have been destroyed countless times in this battle.

However, those outside the city were not so lucky; places not protected by the idiot goose were still significantly affected.

Just as Bianca was still wary of Sirin and was about to continue the fight...

[Ding—Random side quest completed, crisis over, proceeding with settlement.]

The system's sudden announcement startled Bianca, who was still on high alert and hadn't relaxed at all, causing her to feel a sense of disorientation and unreality. However, before she could even ask anything, the system had already completed the task settlement.

[Mission Completion: High; Mission Rewards: Eternal Silence of Heller, Rita Losweisse's full armor unlocked.]

"!"

P.S.: Please vote! I'm up all night again, and I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Ugh, so tough. And to those who say I'm a lazy bum writing a chapter for four hours straight, I can only say that's completely unnecessary.

My typing speed is normal, but as I've mentioned before, I'm not good at writing these kinds of things. These last few pages have been very difficult to write. To achieve a satisfactory result, I've revised each paragraph several times. I'm exhausted, including this one, which I've been writing since 10 pm.

Chapter 53: The End

"!"

The sudden system reward startled Bianca slightly, and the daze instantly disappeared, making her much more alert.

However, the goose was not in a hurry.

Instead of checking the rewards, he raised his head again and looked up at the sky, which was now filled with rolling dust and was empty.

'System, what kind of being is Sirin? Will all future random side quests be like this?'

[The Herrscher of the Void that the host sees is merely a real memory entity possessing the memories and abilities of "Sirin". Specific mission details are unknown and must be explored by the host.]

In response to Bianca's behavior, the system offered an explanation in its emotionless voice.

"Memory..."

After hearing the system's explanation, Bianca's gaze towards the sky became even more complex. It was too real... Sirin's hysterical words from before still seemed to echo in her ears.

To be honest, if the system hadn't explained, after the exchange and conversation just now, Dai'e would have almost completely taken "Sirin" for the real Sirin.

Even now that she knows it's a memory, "Sirin's" words still touched Bianca's heart and stirred her thoughts.

After all, the body and existence may be fake, but the "inherited" memories, emotions such as anger and despair, are not fake at all in the eyes of the silly goose.

------------------

In the cold, empty room—

On the bed in the corner, a purple-haired girl who had been curled up in a ball slowly opened her slightly red and swollen eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

She felt like she had a dream, but she couldn't remember anything at all...

Then, gazing at the now empty room, the girl's confusion vanished instantly, replaced by immense pain and sorrow.

"what……"

Finally, with a soft, mournful cry, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred.

------------------

"call--"

Bianca pondered for a moment, then exhaled a breath of stale air. After confirming that there was no danger, she withdrew her gaze and prepared to leave.

After all, she's still floating in the sky. It's fine when she's guarding or fighting... but now that she's not fighting, she doesn't want to stay in the sky any longer for people to "watch".

As for the protective shield in the sky, the goose doesn't plan to cancel it for the time being. After all, the air quality above the Great Knight Territory isn't very good right now... it's filled with a lot of Primal Stone dust, and you could easily get infected if you're not careful.

Having chosen to lend a hand, Bianca will naturally see it through to the end. She will only remove the energy shield above her once the Grand Knight has left the area or the primordial dust has dissipated.

Dai'e felt that the higher-ups, or rather the leaders, of Kazimierz wouldn't make him wait too long... After all, if they couldn't even arrange a measure like relocating the city properly in the current situation, they would be quite unqualified.

However, just to be on the safe side, and to put the minds of ordinary people at ease, Bianca didn't mind giving a heads-up. With that thought, she didn't hesitate any longer, quickly plummeting from the air towards the center of the National Stadium.

"boom--"

Even though Bianca had controlled Er, the ground still cracked the moment she landed, stirring up a cloud of dust that made it difficult for the audience to see what was happening inside.

Even so... the arena was still filled with deafening cheers for Bianca.

"Bianca—!!!"

"Long live Knight Bianca!!"

"Thank you, Bianca!"

"..."

As the dust in the arena gradually dissipated, revealing Bianca in her "golden" armor, the situation became even more terrifying and fanatical, as if she were about to tear the arena apart.

To be honest, even Bianca, whose focus wasn't on the audience, was still feeling a bit irritated by this group of people.

In fact, the only thing that makes her feel fortunate right now is that, due to her seriousness and strength, no one has made any move to approach her yet.

Even so, the silly goose began to feel a little regretful, wishing she hadn't come and had just slipped away.

"..."

After calming herself down a bit, Bianca's expression turned serious, and her eyes swept across the massive stands of the arena with a serious and imposing gaze.

As the oppressive aura of the goose descended, those who were swept by her gaze fell silent as if a mute button had been pressed.

As the audience quieted down, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Bianca's beautiful blue eyes. Then she reached out and gently touched her ear, and the microphone that had been put away with her armor reappeared.

"The raw stone dust is still raging outside. I will not stop supplying the energy shield in the sky for the time being. Do not leave the city until it moves to a safe location."

Bianca's serious words resonated throughout the arena through the microphone in her ear and the equipment inside.

Then, after the well-intentioned reminder, Silly Goose had no intention of staying there any longer. She wasn't good at dealing with these people or things, so she turned around and headed towards the arena passage.

"Bianca! Hero! Where's the referee? The verdict!!"

"Bianca, you are a true knight!!!"

"The winner of this match is you!"

……

However, there were still too many spectators in the domestic arena. Before Bianca could even take a few steps, the fans who had just been "suppressed" started cheering and shouting again.

At the same time, Mob's voice rang out again, this time bringing the final result of the match:

Yes! Although there were some unexpected incidents during the competition, the competition still needs a result.

Both referees agreed that...

"No need, I'm forfeiting the match."

Before Mob could finish delivering his final verdict, Bianca's calm voice interrupted him.

After stating his decision, the goose didn't look at the reactions of others, but quickened his pace and left.

After experiencing the recent unexpected situation and demonstrating her strength and expanding her influence, Bianca has completely lost the value of participating in the Knights Tournament.

After all, besides the money, her main purpose in participating in the competition was simply to demonstrate her "bargaining chips" so that she could negotiate more easily later and help those in need to gain benefits.

Now that they have enough "chips," there's absolutely no need to participate in this match, which Bianca sees as child's play.

P.S.: I will finish the Kazimierz storyline this month, and then focus on writing next month. Updates will also return to normal next month.

By the way, does anyone want to see Goose go to the second Honkai Impact to save Sirin?

Chapter 54 The Silent Marner

"Bianca has left, Maria, let's go too." Zofia watched Bianca's departing figure with a complicated expression before turning to the person beside her and saying.

"Hmm... Although things were a bit unexpected, we still need to celebrate. Sister Zofia, let's go shopping as planned." Maria finally came to her senses after hearing her aunt's words and nodded.

"That's natural. After all, she went from being the victor of the competition to the guardian of the city. And a hero's triumphant return naturally calls for a celebration."

Zofia had no objection to her child's "suggestion"; instead, she nodded in agreement.

Then, without lingering, the two quickly and silently disappeared from the now bustling and noisy audience.

……

After returning to the rest area, Bianca returned some equipment to the staff, changed into casual clothes, made some disguises, and immediately made her escape.

Although she didn't know the extent of her influence here, judging from the state of the arena audience, she felt that if she didn't leave soon, she wouldn't be able to leave once the others realized what was happening.

Just thinking about being surrounded by a large group of ordinary people makes Dai'e feel troubled and her scalp tingles.

Moreover, Bianca had already arranged to celebrate at the tavern with Maria and the others. With such a sudden "unexpected turn of events," her friends would surely be very confused, and she felt it necessary to explain things to them.

Thinking this, while trying her best to hide herself from being recognized, the silly goose quickened her pace as she headed toward Bald Martin's tavern.

-----------------------

Bald Martin's Tavern -

"Squeak-"

As the door opened, Bianca, slightly flustered, quickly rushed in.

"Hmm? Oh, isn't this our great hero, Knight Bianca? Why are you so flustered? Hahaha."
